Yes, that's a fried chicken sandwich served on Belgium Waffles. Yes, there's bacon. And yes, it is delicious.

From a Dallas preview:
DeRozan is their leading scorer, although his low shooting percentage (40 percent) means that other teams aren't sweating his 20 points per game too much. At 6'7 220, he is an elite athlete who plays with a high motor, but he isn't the most skilled player in the world and he settles for far too many long twos. You want to take away DeRozan's driving lanes and give him space to fire away from the perimeter.
DeRozan, stop playing into the defense's hands by settling for long, contested twos. It's exactly what they want you to do.

Interested to see how Jonas matches up against Chandler as well, that's gonna be a good test for him.

I don't mind DD taking these tough shots, and getting lots of in-game practice with them, as long as the team continues to do well, and set themselves up for a playoff run. Come playoff time, NO TEAM has ever gotten far without a player or two making tough shots against tough defense. If you never practice them, good luck in the playoffs. Take Dirk's one-legged, mid-range fade away for example. He didn't just start making that shot overnight, and didn't develop that ability without numerous misses of a shot that "nobody should take".
For example, DD is actually getting pretty good at that baseline spin and fade shot. Far from the highest percentage shot, but would that ever come in handy come playoff time, when teams give you few high percentage shots. Yeah, there may be a couple of shots per game that it's clear there were better options for, but there isn't a scorer in the league that doesn't do that. Not one. The thing is, that too often gets translated here to being selfish, despite the fact that DeMar continues to develop his "create for others" game, which doesn't always show up in the boxscore. He really is getting much better at breaking down the D and finding open guys, that often doesn't result in him getting an official assist in the boxscore. End of rant.

As simple as it sounds, the best strategy is to aim for the best shot available every trip down the floor (regular or post season).
If DeRozan wants to practice tough shots, save them for short clock situations.

I also liked your post because this will be a tough test for Valanciunas, to see how his improving/expanding offensive game stacks up against one of the few elite post defenders.
Note: I ignored your typical condescending, passive-aggressive BS, because hidden underneath the trolling bait were a couple legitimate, quality insights. Go figure.Last edited by CalgaryRapsFan; Fri Nov 28, 2014, 01:48 PM.
